I can't play Spore, or any games that use discs to install themselves. *Cries*
-
And I've got to say that the last level was so amazing. The improved Gravity Gun makes it so worthwhile. Watching a Combine soldier's body fly through the air and disintegrate is priceless. If you haven't played it, you need to. If you have access to a PC, Xbox, or PS3, you NEED to get Half-Life 2. It is that good. (P.S: IMO, it's better than Halo. *Is shot*)

LAPRAS! Lol that convo* was awesome. *Convo in question will not be posted by Bunny as it was long and contained mild cursing. BtB

I just beat Halo 3 on Normal, so I didn't get to see the scene where the Master Chief says the aforementioned quote, pity. I've been playing online a little, I'm okay, nothing special though. It's a good game, definitely distracted me from schoolwork for a while.

Discuss please. I will add that Duke is my idol, role model and if I believed in worship he would be getting it.

The sequel to the original Rockband is much better IMO. Of course, I own the diluted wii version of the original and the 360 version of the new one. Regardless, I've been playing it with friends for hours and have been having a great time with it and the one guitar that we have. (We only have the disc, not the whole shebang) As of right now, we are currently located in the majestic city of LA and will soon (hopefully) invade Britan, once we inquire an airplane that is. I don't think our tour bus handles too well in saltwater. Oh well, I just want to get to the AC/DC song.

Finished it... very cool. Fun times. The gameplay was fun, and the locales and enemies were diverse enough to keep your attention. But it was so short... that was kinda sad. The Force powers rocked. Lightning FTW. The characters were unfortunately basic... confused young hero, hot ladyfriend sidekick, and comical droid helper-type. Meh. One thing that made me sad was the destruction of the Star Destroyer as seen on the back cover wasn't nearly as epic as it looks. On the cover it's this giant thing crashing into a city and you bravely using your awesome Force and standing in the middle of a street looking all awesome. In game you're standing on this junky bridge with the Star Destroyer slowly coming down into a giant junkyard. Literally. Yay. Still cool, I guess. So now I'm going to go back and play it on a harder difficulty and try to collect all the Holocrons. (before I was playing it on normal and easy, alternating between them whenever I felt like it. ) BTW I chose the Light path. I'll be doing Dark next time. BtB

I rented it today. Very cool. All the force powers are very fun... it's lovely tossing troopers and wookies about. Only played the first couple levels but I can already tell it will be a very fun game. *adds Rogue Shadow to Lego wishlist, after Sandcrawler* I sense a trend... BtB

Awesome game, took many, many hours to beat. Especially the ending bosses. I don't even know how many times I died. I played through on the Sith Warrior difficulty and will attempt (keyword attempt) Sith Lord at some later date, most likely tomorrow. I really enjoyed the game, lots of fun force powers. My favorite being Force Repulse, followed by Force Lightning. The other powers I used occasionally but not all that well. I really enjoyed the storyline and how well it helps bridge the two story arcs. I followed the Redemption path at the end, my next play through will follow the Revenge path.... just to see what the differences between the two are, if any. The physics generators that are on the game are amazing as well, there's nothing I enjoy more than going and slashing away at some glass just to see how it breaks. Great game, you should go get it.

Yeah...after looking at the list of songs for Rock Band 2, I've realized it really does have the better setlist. The Guitar Hero peripherals are still superior, and it does have the song creation mode. I'll probably end up with both.

Is baffled beyond baffled?

I am very excited, and down $605.20, but that's okay.

Yesterday I worked for all of 10 minutes on mastering Lurario's down-B move, double team. I've become more of a spammer with it than anything as of right now (), but am becoming better with the timing of it. I played a couple rounds against a friend of mine and was able to do pretty well while focusing most of my time on getting double team to work. I fear that I will have to use an attacking CPU in training mode to refine the skill. Double team works by Lucario going into an animation, if you're hit in the right timeframe, you evade the attack and swoop in on your opponent from behind. I find that a string of A-button attacks follows suit best afterward. Double team is the last Lucario skill I have left to fully (or somewhat, lol) master. Asides from this one move, I'm extremely proficient with the rest of his moveset. I consider Lucario to be my best character since he fits my playing style well. He gains attack power the more damage he takes, which is good because I like to charge in. I'm in love with his projectile (B) and his Meteor Smash (down-A when in air) since it slows your falling and takes out anyone below you. The rest of his moves are awesome and have some good range (particularly left/right-B). And his recovery move Extreme Speed (up-B) is nice too. But the Final Smash, that's nothing special, oh well. --- And because I'm in the talking mood. My other favorite character to play as is Zero Suit Samus, hereby referred as ZSS. Where I may have some refining left to do with Lucario's moveset, I'm much better at using ZSS's. To quote my friend's little brother, "I hate playing someone who is good with ZSS." I fight differently with Lucario and ZSS, with Lucario I use the A-attacks more frequently to combo, with ZSS I take advantage of the wide range of B-attacks. ZSS's B-attacks revolve around the electro-plamsa whip, which is awesome. It has a range of maybe 2 or 3 character lengths, and if the opponent is hit with the end of the hit, they take a good deal of damage. One of my preferred stategies is using her B attack to paralyze the opponent temporarily and then using left/right B to hit them with the charged end of the whip. I'm sure that the left/right-A smash would work well instead of the B attack, but I've yet to test it. The electrowhip is such a fun weapon, and ZSS's flip kick is also pretty sweet. But her meteor smash is trouble if done incorrectly v_v. Alright, done.

Portal comes in the Orange Box combo disk of three Half Life games, Portal, and Team Fortress 2. In Portal you play as a human/robot thingy that uses a portal gun to complete various tests for GLaDOS, a robot in control of Aperture Science. As with many games I like, it's full of puzzles, and I'm looking forward to the challenge modes, these include the advanced mode, and various other things such as completing levels as fast as possible or with as few portals as possible. It's a great problem solving game I recommend for anyone, and of course, the orange box does own.

Okay lots of stuff to cover today for the big finale. First of all there were yet more accessories unveiled today! I got some more info on the Wii MotionPlus so Ill cover that first. The Wii MotionPlus attachment plugs in to the bottom of the Wii Remote. It adds about an inch and a half to the length of the controller and includes a pass-though port for the Nunchuk. The MotionPlus' port cover folds into the Nunchuk's connector to stay out of the way when the Nunchuk is connected. The MotionPlus has a lock that keeps the add-on attached if you're not using the rubber Wii jacket that comes with the accessory. When you're throwing the Frisbee in the Disc Dog game, the MotionPlus' sensor detects how you're holding the disc in hand. If you rotate your wrist slightly, the Frisbee will rotate up or down onscreen in response. The Wii Remote, MotionPlus, and Nunchuk become handle bars in the Power Cruising Jet Ski racing game. Rotating the Wii Remote with the MotionPlus attached activates the throttle just like on a motorcycle or personal water scooter. Sadly, we will not be seeing this until Spring of next year. Next we have the Novint Falcon Pistol, possibly the next big thing in shooting games. The controller simulates the kickback of guns so you know if you're firing a shotgun or a Magnum. The controller even does a great job of simulating different walks, runs, and jumps, amongst many other effects. Here we have this ingenious little invention called Level Head from Indie Games which could open a new door for some of the smaller game developers. It looks really fun and unique. Put together using Ubuntu Linux, a webcam, and a printer, Level Head is a neat new puzzle game. The game works via image recognition, using coloured cubes printed with 3D bar codes that are interpreted by a connected webcam. When the software reads the image, it turns it into a 3d maze onscreen, and you tilt the cube itself to move a man inside. Once you've made it through a series of doors, you move on to another coloured cube, and you keep going until you get through all of the blocks. And of course, this entry could not be complete without some screenshots from some of the big games at E3. Halo Wars: New Animal Crossing: Sonic Unleashed: Fable II: Final Fantasy XIII: Chrono Trigger DS: Well thats all folks, it was a grand show this year at E3!

Well day 2 is coming to an end. Highlights for today include lots of accessories and stage demos from Killzone 2 and LittleBigPlanet. Chrono Trigger DS and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars continue to look like amazing new DS games also. Im really wanting to get either a PS3 or Xbox 360 now, with the Xbox price drop coming up soon it will probably be my choice. Here are some more images of a few of todays favorites! First up we have the Media Hub+, Nyko's new port expansion unit for the PlayStation 3. The hub uses a precious USB slot on your PS3 but it's a good investment because the unit provides three additional USB ports and a memory card reader compatible with memory sticks and SD memory cards. The Media Hub+ basically gives back the two USB ports and memory card reader Sony stripped from the 40 GB PlayStation 3. Really cool. Here is the WiiSpeak Microphone and the Logitech Wii Keyboard (YES!) Lastly I bring you these sweet looking new cases for your PSP and DS, I WANT one. Well thats all for today, Ill have a lengthy entry for the big conclusion of E3 tomorrow, enjoy!

Lots of big announcements yesterday, I am currently getting caught up with todays events. Microsoft probably had the biggest impact yesterday, Final Fantasy XIII announced for Xbox 360, along with several other games and a price drop. Nintendo announced the Wii Motion Plus accessory, which looks to be another bold step, hopefully it pays off like the Wii launch did. Here are some screenshots of some of my upcoming favorites, look for an E3 day 2 update soon. Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe: Resident Evil 5: Prince of Persia: Spore: Fatal Inertia:

Apparently, Capcom is making Mega Man 9 . -009 out

Well I picked up the game and a spare steering wii wheel on Monday, but I have been too busy to try it out until earlier tonight. It has alot of potential I think, so far I have only done a few time trials and 2 wifi races, I managed to finish 3rd and 2nd so that was cool. I love the fact that you can race many other people, 11 for my first 2 wifi races. The wheel is actually quite accurate and reliable, given the karts I use. I still have a ton of stuff to unlock so Ill be playing this game for a long time I can already tell. The graphics are bright and smooth, music is crisp and quirky and I love the sound effects. The courses are my favorite part so far, I have only done a couple but the Coconut Mall is just too much fun. The available characters are many more than previous MK games and I liked the selection, baby Peach sounds cute, too cute. The bikes add a new feel to the game, allthough I have not been able to steer them too well yet. I also really like the ranking and points system, being able to check my time trial and tournament scores worldwide adds to the replay value. Even my daughter has taken to the game, she loves the wheel and is actually not to bad of a racer with it. Displaying her own customized Mii on her MK license had her overjoyed! So I would say it has lived up to the hype so far, I imagine it will only get better too. Is it better than Brawl? Well, that is like comparing apples and oranges. I think the wifi is a bit more fun simply because there are more people to play and finding other random racers is very fast. Brawl has more strategy though, MK is straight forward, race and toss items. Lastly, Ill have my friend code available here soon, I had it but forgot to write it down, I guess I got caught up in the fun. I highly suggest the game to any Wii owners, it is one of the best games on the console. My MK Wii code: 2026 9680 8563 (Thanks to Kohaku, strangely enough he knew my code when I did not!)

As you may know, Kohaku is hosting a Super Smash Brothers Brawl Tournament. After an intense battle I was defeated by Kinali and his Wario like attacks. Came down to the wire but he deserved to win. Looks like he will be taking on Bohrok Kaita 1 next, good luck to you Kinali. There are great prizes at stake here. On an unrelated yet somehow related note, my BBC 49 poll is up. I think entry 7 has me beat, it has a sweet design and shape, well done on your entry Dr. Keerakh. If you deem it worthy, my entry is number 9, but remember to vote for the best MoC. I have had my run of BBC success so an early exit in the polls is no biggie.
-
Read Here Wow, so yeah I thought this was mildly interesting. I was actually quite surprised at the content but even more surprised at the characters! Dante? Lara Croft (well okay she belongs I guess). Gordon and Jade? Obviously more votes are needed there. Topping my list would be... Tifa Lockheart! Just joking of course. I dare not reveal such sensitive information to the masses!

Here is mine: 5069-3604-3374 Please post yours and I will add you, anyone who posts can also add me. Lets get to it and battle!

*dances insanely* It are in the darknesssss! BtB

If you are using a linksys router, and are experiencing frequent disconnections or are unable to battle in wifi at all, I have discovered the solution to this problem. It will require alot of manual setup for the router and the Wii, including port forwarding the Wii, obtaining a static IP address, changing the channel of your router and downloading the most recent firmware for your router. Anyway, there is a link I could supply however there are forums there so I cannot. Please PM me if you wish and I will help you to the best of my ability. I was having problems and was pretty angry until I did all this, now my Wii is much smoother on the internet.

After many hours of grinding, my attempt at a perfect file for the first half of this game, Final Fantasy VI Advance, is nearly complete. Those of you who have played the game will notice some items that are normally un-attainable at this point in the game, such as Flame Shields and Crystal armor/weaponry can be gotten via a skill called meta-morph. Those items were obtained via an item called Magicite Shards. These items randomly summon 1 of about 20 "Espers" with various effects on an enemy group. Certain enemies can be meta-morphed into the select items, but at a very unlikely rate, I believe the overall odds are 1 in about 256. Those odds are made even worse by the fact that you can only hope the random esper summoned is the one (Ragnarok) that you require for the possible meta-morph. Anyway, fans of this game will know how difficult and tedious it was getting all those items, this means you Omi . There will be one more feat, at which time I will have every possible thing you can have up to that point in the game. Meaning experience levels of 99 for all characters, all magical spells, all character special abilities, and 99 of every buyable item. This is one of my greatest gaming accomplishments to date, I will continue the quest for perfection! Anybody who is interested in proof can PM me, I have a video available but it seems that the site I have the video uploaded at is a filtered site here, I never knew!
